The game that I am most looking forward too, other than the obvious, is Wiscosin v Auburn. I believe this could be a strong game between two strong opponents, the other game I'm looking forward to is Northwestern UCLA, what about everyone else?

T Tech vs Bama. Offense vs defense.

Both those games should also be great, it looks like this year there are a lot of good games.

My girlfriend is a Nebraska alum so we are going to the Alamo Bowl, Nebraska vs. Michigan. Both teams have been down this year but should be a good matchup of two storied football programs.

Depends on how one wants to define major:
I'd have to look forward to the Holiday Bowl, although the Ducks were given a terrible opponent in Oklahoma. Any time the number five team in the country is playing a team that isn't ranked, something is wrong with the system. Even if one doesn't think that Oregon is more deserving than Notre Dame / Ohio State, one must agree that a 10-1 team deserves better. It's due to the heavy conference tie-ins of the BCS era that teams get such bad matchups.

Fresno State / Tulsa in the Liberty Bowl should be interesting. It's not the profile of the Boise State / Louisville matchup (which was the best bowl of the 2004 season), but I like the idea of conference champion playing conference champion. Unfortunately, no one foresaw Fresno State losing to Nevada and La. Tech.
